Draft hypothetical: we trade up for QB, who do you pick in the 3rd? - Page 2

**the Talking Can** · 04-15-2015, 08:27 AM

I am neither advocating, nor expecting this, just a curiosity.

Say that Mariota fell to where we could get him for our 2nd. That leaves us - realistically - with only our two 3rd round picks to acquire players to help us this year (i'm assuming the rest of our picks are crap shoots, obviously we might strike gold).

Given our multiple needs - OL, WR, ILB - and the fact that neither our 1st or 2nd round picks will produce anything this year...

who do you take in the 3rd with the hope they can contribute now (or at some point this year)?

(i leave it to you to assume who will be available at our picks)

ILB, WR

I don't think Mariotta is a plug-and-play QB this year. He needs at LEAST a season of sitting, watching, and preparing to maximize his potential. Winston seems to have the ability to step in and run a pro style offense tomorrow, problem is we'd have to give u a king's ransom for him, and I don't think I would do that. We have an opportunity to really fill some gaps this year with the extra picks, and call me crazy, I'm actually interested in watching what Aaron Murray can do this year in preseason. The kid is a four year starter in the SEC and would have been a second or third round pick if not for his knee injury. We'll see.

But to answer the question directly -

WR
CB
OG

In the right situation, his off field issues can be overcome.

I am not a fan of Marriotta, however, in this hypothetical, I would go Tre McBride, Eric Rowe and John Miller (to throw in a bonus pick) as my next 3 picks.

If they take those guys, I don't give a flying **** who else they pick in the draft.

Oh, besides Zach Vigil getting selected after John Miller.

We don't trade up for a quarterback in the first round. That would not just be hypothetical, but it would be highly pathetic.
